Are you ready to uncover the strategic art of turning your property into a powerful asset that can multiply wealth and impact your community?

Join us as Eugene Gershman shares invaluable insights on real estate development and sustainable investment strategies.

In this episode, Eugene Gershman, CEO of GIS Development Corp, an expert in real estate development and private equity dives deep into the unique challenges and rewarding opportunities that come with transforming properties into lasting investments. From the hidden complexities of construction to handling community concerns, he sheds light on what it really takes to build in today’s urban environments.

Eugene shares his views on how real estate owners can strategically retain and grow their assets for greater financial returns, community impact, and legacy-building. He also highlights key mistakes to avoid, such as underestimating the complexity of development and relying solely on cost-per-square-foot estimates.

Key Takeaways:

• 21:28: Avoiding Development Pitfalls: The importance of understanding true development costs and avoiding reliance on “cost per square foot” estimates alone.

• 24:45: Building a Legacy: Eugene encourages property owners to consider development as an investment rather than a sale, leveraging tax strategies to convert active assets into passive income.
